RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

Are you interested in joining the Catholic faith or perhaps learning more about it?

The Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the process through which adults (and children/teens) become full members of the Catholic Faith.

If you have never been baptized or, if you have been baptized in another Christian church and would like to consider your faith journey in the Catholic church, you are invited to attend. There is absolutely no pressure to become a catholic. This is your time and your decision.

If you were baptized as a Catholic but never received any formation or never received the remainder of the sacraments of initiation (i.e., Confirmation/and or Eucharist) this process is for you as well.

If you are a fully initiated Catholic (received all your sacraments), but would like to enrich your understanding of the faith, we invite you to join us.
